The Role of Physiotherapy in Von Willebrand Disease

Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is a common bleeding disorder linked to defects in the Von Willebrand factor within blood. It can either be inherited or acquired and affects up to 1% of the population. In the more severe cases of Von Willebrand Disease, physiotherapy plays an important role in managing joint and muscle bleeds in order to achieve functional rehabilitation and the return to activities of daily living.

The Role of Physiotherapy in Haemophilia

Haemophilia is a bleeding disorder that can lead to haemorrhage in various parts of the body and physiotherapy is an integral part of the management of issues caused by this condition. Bleeds often happen within the joints and muscles and the appropriate physiotherapy management of these issues are dependent on whether they are in the acute, subacute or chronic phase of recovery.
